Ed. 2011  \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With applications in optoelectronics and photonics, quantum information processing, nanotechnology and data storage, molecular materials enrich our daily lives in countless ways. These materials have properties that depend on their exact structure, the degree of order in the way the molecules are aligned and their crystalline nature. Small, delicate changes in molecular structure can totally alter the properties of the material in bulk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere has been increasing emphasis on functional metal complexes that demonstrate a wide range of physical phenomena. \u003ci\u003eMolecular Materials\u003c\/i\u003e represents the diversity of the area, encapsulating magnetic, optical and electrical properties, with chapters on:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eMetal-Based Quadratic Nonlinear Optical Materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePhysical Properties of Metallomesogens\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMolecular Magnetic Materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMolecular Inorganic Conductors and Superconductors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMolecular Nanomagnets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eStructured to include a clear introduction, a discussion of the basic concepts and up-to-date coverage of key aspects, each chapter provides a detailed review which conveys the excitement of work in that field.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdditional volumes in the Inorganic Materials Series:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLow-Dimensional Solids | Molecular Materials | Porous Materials | Energy Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eProfessor Duncan Bruce\u003c\/b\u003e graduated from the University of Liverpool (UK), where he also gained his PhD. In 1984, he took up a Temporary Lectureship in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Sheffield and was awarded a Royal Society Warren Research Fellowship. He was then appointed Lecturer in Chemistry and was promoted Senior Lecturer in 1994, in which year he became co-director of the Sheffield Centre for Molecular Materials. In 1995, he was appointed Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Exeter. Following the closure of Exeter's chemistry department in 2005, Professor Bruce took up his present position as Professor of Materials Chemistry in York. He is currently Chair of the Royal Society of Chemistry Materials Chemistry Forum. His current research interests include liquid crystals and nanoparticle-doped, nanostructured, mesoporous silicates. His work has been recognized by various awards including the British Liquid Crystal Society's first Young Scientist prize and the RSC's Sir Edward Frankland Fellowship and Corday-Morgan Medal and Prize. He has held visiting positions in Australia, France, Japan and Italy. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Richard Walton,\u003c\/b\u003e who was also formerly based in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Exeter, now works in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Warwick.
